On 20 May 2023, a very young puppy was abandoned on the road to the Sanctuary. It is against the law in the Philippines to treat animals in this way, but it happens all the time. People rarely have funds to afford to sterlise their pets, and the stray population booms. After his first photo shoot in the fields opposite the Sanctuary gate, we called him Dash, as he would not stop running round our ankles! Unfortunately, our Distemper Outbreak over the summer meant we could not allow any adoptions through the Sanctuary, so his opportunity to be picked up as a baby vanished. Many of his buddies are adopted, but he is a cheeky boy with bags of energy, and will fit in well with any young active family.
